Ceez’s Verse:
Longer days and sleepless nights,
Captures by the darkness hardly see any lights,
And it isn't cos my eyes low,
Still chasing a dream but it's hard to follow,
Now you know why I hardly get rest,
Tryna take the right steps in order to reach success,
Let me catch my breath,
Cause this is for those whose ever felt worthless,
Shivering wondering why the world is so cold,
And why your mother had to play both roles,
It's not right hearing her cry overnight,
Feeling like a piece of me just died,
Like the time when my grandma had to say her last goodbye,
Got me thinking will I ever reach the sky,
Just to get that last kiss & stare into her eyes,
But instead I stay up late writing in my book of rhymes

Introspect’s Verse:
Emptiness around the block the streets are hot
I’m laying down on some broken glass and bed of rocks
It’s hard to get up, when so much shit can get you down
But if I stop now, I’ll never make my momma proud

But who is with me when I’m all alone on cold nights
I try to grip reality instead I hold my dreams tight
Visions of myself just ripping every track,
But when I look up at the wall my head circles like it runs track

And I fall down but I always find my way back up
Insecurity is hard to shake but you can’t rely on luck
It’s like I’m stuck, confused with this life and this music
Wake up from this nightmare and I put on something soothing

Maybe something calm that will rest the mind
Figure out your worth and leave the doubt behind
On second thought I should take my own advice
But there I go again talking to myself at night

Hide&SeekZoo’s Verse:
Yo, as I go to sleep, my thoughts go in deep
Thinking about what I lost and the shit I got to keep
Live fast dream slow, that’s all Ill ever know
And ive seen enough of the world just to know that its cold

They aint dealing with the feeling, staring at the ceiling
With my head on my pillow, feelings never healing
So I, pack a bowl just to see if it helps
‘Cause weed’s a last resort when I got nothing else

Like im running, yea it feels like im chasing
Memories erasing, bad thoughts misplaced in
A place theyre not supposed to be, so I smoke tree
Just to get away from me, that’s what I call free

But im doing just fine, I hope that you know it
Just another sleepless night in the life of a poet
Saw my chance and I wrote it, and then you quote it
‘cause all the late night thoughts is what keeps me goin’

Aver’s Verse:
This minds a dark place when in the back with your shadows
facing your mistakes in the face is a constant battle
my life is a movie no color just black and white
the setting is one room one mic and some fucked up nights
they say yo, just let it go aver
I say yo, ill talk to you later
stuck in my bed with these shackles on my head
weight of my past wont let me get a minute of rest
into an abyss a child confused and in the mix
thrown into the world where no gives two shits
they say forgive and forget but all I have is regret
put your guard down and the pain proceeds to the chest
Worse than bullets this hurt is certainly permanent
maybe one day ill recover from all of this bullshit
so they ask me why I smoke these cigs under street lights
wasted time in the dark when I should've been in the light
Ra1’s Verse:

What couldve been that he looked down to the globe with nothing but contempt
With an urge to run away from home to kill his thoughts again
The feeling where you think no one thinks as much as you
You pretend it's fine when its opposite in front of you

You can probably glance at me, but we dont share the same lane
An unattached train with thoughts to be an airplane
So much to say and yet, so little time
Through a fucking song I rather tell you looking down into your eyes

Just to prove, Im someone that'll have somthing to die for soon
So I keep pushing and pushing in order to move
Away from fake realities to brighter fantasies
Rather than wishing no one'll pull me down, spell casting me

But they can keep their talk shit as their belongings,
My closest claimed they never harmed me pretending they never lied
I teared inside, but they cant blame me
Im feeling crazy, havent been myself lately
